Scientists Study Sludge Disposal Three Methods Tested in Texas
Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researchers led by Dr. Allen R. Swoboda test three sludge disposal options, including surface application, trench burial, and shallow furrow deposition, to reduce land needs and prevent groundwater contamination. The team found no heavy metal or phosphorus leaching and no adverse effect on plant growth, with application at 50 tons per acre. Municipal plants produce about 75 tons daily per million people, and current rates demand large land areas.
